Although few details of the call have been released, with even Netanyahu's closest advisers kept in the dark, senior Israeli security officials were briefed on its contents.
The call comes amid the possibility of renewed strikes against Iran and ahead of Tuesday's US midterm elections.
In the days leading up to the Israeli election, Netanyahu repeatedly spoke of a heightened state of alert, including the possibility of an Iranian attack and threats from other fronts.
He has remained completely silent on the subject since then, which speaks volumes about the seriousness and sensitivity of the current situation.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to reach a deal continue. Israel is placing little hope in these negotiations.
